don't cha love meatballs?

tell me, who does not like the meatballs from Ikea?(minus those who cun take beef.) the heavenly meatballs are simply just irresistible!! also, the fried chicken wings cannot be missed when you are at Ikea restaurant. too bad, my tummy was so full, have to skip the sinful chocolate mousse.












had a good chat with jeanine that day. all the bitching about her awful experience with the telcom, photo shoot, ideal man, etc.. as our acquaintance links all the way back to the CLDDS days. i wonder how are the teachers and fellow mates have been doing all these while. especially ms tan nan sze, mdm fong.

fish steamboat

fish steamboat at Jalan Sultan. seems to be quite a famous stall. but i still don't fancy the steamboat. be it fish meat or fish head. haha.. and i heard the steamboat was the most expensive dish. hmm.. anyway, unlikely i will ever eat that again.



its always good to clear up mis-understandings.

i have learnt to be a better man.

i suppose uh?

someone is going..

someone is going to Denmark for exchange.

WHO?































Royston Chan!






the 5 of us meet for dinner before he fly on the eve of 'chu xi'. i introduce them to this 'zhu chao', after reading the review on ieatishootipost.








enough of cam-whoring.
its MAKAN time!!



Marmite Pork.
remember the marmite that goes with plain porridge which most of us eaten when were young. the chef cleverly create a fusion with marmite and lean pork, and here we got this yummy dish.
rated a 4 out of 5.



Sambal Kangkong.
nothing surprising, i would have prefer it to be more spicy.
3 out of 5.



Pumpkin Prawns.
the pumpkin sauce is the highlight of this dish. i could fill my plate of rice with this yellowish sauce. hehe.. the prawns are deep fried and smothered in a thick pumpkin sauce.
4.5 out of 5.



Crispy Pork Knuckle.
supposedly to be the 'gem dish'. somewhat, we felt it was overly done. not crispy, but more of 'chao ta'(burnt).
2.5 out of 5.


we also have this special beancurd dish. but i was too busy munching the food, so no photo of that beancurd.



look!! the pumpkin prawn is the first to be wipe out. and try spot the beancurd dish if u can.
*hint: its beside louis plate. haha..


junyuan brought us to zion riverside hawker.
the cheng tng is a must try!!!






and i bumped into kevin tan.
tell me how small can Singapore be.





actually we wanted to eat ice cream at Valley Point. but when we reached there, it was closed. with starbucks being the only cafe open, we have to settle with coffee.



royston doing a speech on his internship.


p/s: i am still waiting for royston to remove the busy status in msn and send me the rest of the photos taken that night before he hop on the plane.
so royston, if you are reading this, I WANT THE PHOTOS!!!


and suddenly everyone attention is on touch screen gadgets.



louis figuring how to log on to wireless on samsung omnia.



junyuan hoping to break his record on some mind game installed in ipod touch.



we presented a photo frame and farewell card to the soon-to-be-Danish boy.



royston and junyuan busy comparing how they look like a year ago in the photo.
and to reassure royston once again, we didn't take that picture infront of any water fountain, it was at the overhead bridge in chinatown.



lastly, i did what i always like to, cam-whore.

the 23rd.

this entry comes almost a month late.


my 23rd birthday.

while i might be just stepping into my mid-20s, i could feel that i am aging already! i really have to take good care of my health, many commented that i have lost weight.

so right now, i am eating like a pig!


photos during my birthday week.



25 OCT 2008

celebration with AF.


reuben and i always get to celebrate our birthday together.
but he is a libra while i am a scorpio. haha..


the dining venue was at Zhou's Kitchen at the Copperdome. its located beside Anchorpoint, or rather directly opposite IKEA Alexandra.






we had dim sum buffet!!





we loitered inside Anchorpoint after the meal.



next up, we headed over to Clarke Quay for dessert.




Nectarie Le'Dessert Patisserie.

its my second visit, and i totally heart their cakes!



before i get to eat my 'heavenly' cake. xueying gave me & reuben a 'surprise' by presenting to us the cartoonish hand-drawn birthday cards! haha. as normally, i was the one who sprung people with surprise, so i didn't expect a card coming the way. thanks ger!





another group photo of AF in the collection!



26 OCT 2008

with the strike boys.

lunch was at Sushi Tei.




i am sure royston will kill me for posting up this unglam photo of his. muahaha..

we also had cakes and pastries at Canele.





and since its under Le Amis group, i was expecting something good from them. yet, DISAPPOINTMENT was what spelt across my face when the dessert was served. it seems like a common problem when a particular establish venture out and set up branches, their food standard dropped. and unfortunately, Canele is in such a situation.




the strike boys with the extra lady in the nice background.



27 OCT 2008

i heart my family! i cut the cake at the struck of midnight on the actual day. the birthday cake is from Esprit cafe, manned by the Aromas group. their chocolate praline recommend by the staff is superb!




instead of paper carton box, Aromas uses metal box to contain the cake.
that's what i call unique-ness.


=)



27 OCT 2008

i set aside the actual day for my clique. i treated them to TCC. and thanks to keith for reminding me while he was on the way, why does it always have to rain on my birthday?




I was conned!
there ain't $23000000 inside.
argh... actually its more than that amount! WOOHOO~




the usual suspects part 1.



the usual suspects part 2.




andre is the killer! "男女通杀"
pearlyn is "大老婆" while i am the "小老婆".




i have to admit. actually, me and alex are in love.



whenever i walk along the corridor of Raffles Hotel, i will pass by this american theme restaurant. finally i get to try their food today.

oh, the name of the restaurant is Seah Street Deli.




chic interior deco.




this juke box was spotted standing at one corner of the restaurant. seldom we get to see juke box lying around in Singapore. the last one i saw was at the engineering canteen in TP.



their food was average only. too much of deep-fry as its american style, but the serving is huge. the only dish worth mentioning is the Queen's burger that augustus had.



u really have to love food to be in my league of friends.

next up, mango ice at liang seah street.




we went to this secret place.
shhh...
can't tell u where its was. but we were all thrill over the soccer table.





that's all for my birthday this year.

thanks to my friends for the fun. =D



lastly,


B1, B2 & Adam says BYE and Good Night to all!
